Abstract:

Since the late 1990s, local governments in China have been relying heavily on land, which is a state-owned asset in urban area, to generate a significant amount of extra-budgetary revenue. Whilst this striking phenomenon has attracted numerous academic attentions, not many literatures shed the light on the process of central-local interactions. Adopting the procedural approach, this study examines the central-local fiscal and policy relations in the context of land finance. Taking the evidence from Guangdong province, this study understands the central-local relations as a process of policy interactions. After the central’s attempt to recentralize the fiscal resources of local governments in the mid-1990s, localities have been facing fiscal stress, which led them to rely heavily on land conveyance income, an extra-budgetary revenue in order to complement the fiscal shortage in budgetary account. However, a series of socioeconomic consequences of local fervent land development have attracted frequent central interventions. The most noticeable example is the housing macro-regulations introduced in light of the soaring housing prices. The example of the housing macro-regulations rejected the classic centrist model of the central-local relations in China, which implies a zero-sum game. On the contrary, in face of an issue influencing the conflicting core interests of both actors, both the powers of central and local governments were intensified to the extent that no one single actor will totally win over another. The powers of the central and local governments were also mutually transformed in the course of the game. It is argued that local governments display a sense of resistance against the central interventions as they have strong interests in land and real estate industry after tax sharing reform. On the other hand, it is unlikely for the central government to give concession to local governments as the failure to alleviate the consequences of land finance may cause public discontent and even political crises. The possible outcome is either a “win-win” situation or loss for both actors. To avoid a negative-sum outcome, collaboration and compromise are recommended. The centre is urged to address the root problem of misalignment of revenue and expenditure and to institutionalize the relationship between the centre and subnational governments.

Abstract:

Il s'agit d'une monographie d'un village situe en bordure de l'estuaire de la riviere des perles (guangdong, chine du sud). Les donnees ethnographiques sont le fruit d'enquetes effectuees sur le terrain entre 1987 et 1990. Le village etudie se distingue des villages alentour par l'origine sociale de ses habitants, qui proviennent d'un groupe connu localement sous le nom de "tanka". Ce nom a consonance pejorative designe les pecheurs non sedentaires du guangdong vivant a bord de leurs embarcations. La these se compose de trois parties. La premiere traite des fondements identitaires de ce groupe meprise par les habitants des villages du terroir. La seconde partie porte sur le village actuel. Y sont decrits son organisation sociale (association de maisonnees) et familiale (la maisonnee composee d'une famille souche ou nucleaire comme unite d'appartenance familiale de base). L'etude des conduites matrimoniales fait apparaitre le role de la parentele dans les choix matrimoniaux et le maintien d'une specificite culturelle qui se manifeste a travers des chants propres aux "gens de l'eau". La troisieme partie est consacree aux pratiques culturelles domestiques. Le dernier chapitre decrit un rituel mediumnique
This is a monograph study of a coastal village of the pearl river delata (guangdong, south china). Fieldwork was conducted during 1987-1990. The population of the village belongs to one the three major ethnics groups of the pearl river delta, namely "boatpeople" or "tanka". This study is divided in three parts. The first three chapters ("to be tanka") concerns the past, as represented in the memory of the aged people of the village and in oral tradition (chapter ii). Chapter three describes the process of fondation of the village (land were granted during the land reform, 1951). The second and thrid parts of the thesis describes various dimensions of social and cultural reality of the village. Chapter four analyses the village as a whole (symbolized by the cult of a territorial deity, the earth god); chapter five and six focus on the house and the household. The three last chapters concerns the domestic cults, with a specific attention to ritual treatment of the souls of the dead members of the househould

Abstract:

This PhD research focuses on rural governance in the context of Mainland China. It focuses on three aspects of the changing rural governance: 1) internalization of the state-sponsored reforms for rural democratization, 2) external intervention and mediation of the human agents for policy implementation, and 3) dispute settlement. Drawing upon the three above-mentioned aspects, this study aims to dissect the interactive processes of China’s rural governance over the ongoing urbanisation of small-to-medium-sized cities. The fieldwork utilizes iterative-inductive ethnography as the research methodology. It additionally adopts the theoretical framework of social constructionism and actor-oriented perspectives to interpret the changing rural governance and employs interface analysis to examine the ethnographic data. It finds that the outcome of rural governance in the selected villages is greatly influenced by the interaction of the human agents’ capabilities and the (emerging) structural forces. In particular, various actors not only construct the emerging power structure but make use of their own knowledge, power relations, discursive practices, and innovate strategies to accommodate, negotiate and compromise with the external forces to solve problems emerging out of rural governance. Simultaneously, structural factors limit the scope of the actors’ choices, and the opportunities for strategies concerning rural governance. In terms of the representativeness of the selected samples, it firstly could reflect on the possible trajectories of rural governance over the next decade for the urbanisation of small-to-medium-sized cities, which is promoted by both the central and local governments. Secondly, the selected samples represent the changing rural governance in villages that feature Hakka culture and history. Further research should be taken on villages consisting of different cultural contexts and political-economic conditions in order to expand on this research as the representativeness of the samples is limited to the specific contexts under study.

Abstract:

The manufacturing industry has become very competitive in today's global market environment. Many US companies are faced with the choice of keeping their manufacturing domestic or looking to low cost off-shore countries to take advantage of the labor costs differences. To gain an understanding of the state of manufacturing in China, a major focus in the manufacturing world today, this thesis was undertaken. This thesis presents the findings of research conducted in Guangdong Province, China in June - July, 2005. This research addressed customer focus, leadership and general manufacturing and quality knowledge and practices of small, medium and large sized companies in Guangdong Province, China. Customer focus and leadership are two of the eight fundamental principles of the ISO 9000:2000 family of standards. These two principles, customer focus and leadership, were selected for the foundational role they play in any organization. Companies that are customer focused and have good leadership principles and practices should tend to give quality a priority for the product/service they provide to their customers. The aim of this thesis was to determine if there is a significant difference in the way small, medium and large companies are aligned with these two fundamental principles. Data regarding customer focus, leadership, and general manufacturing and quality knowledge and practices was collected from 41 manufacturing companies in Guangdong Province, China through the use of a survey, interviews and observation. At the conclusion of this thesis, a summary of the findings regarding the aim of the thesis is presented along with a confirmation and questioning of previous research completed.

Abstract:

Notre travail s'intéresse à la modernisation de l'agriculture chinoise entre 1980 et 1999, avec un intérêt particulier pour les filières porcine et avicole. À partir d'enquêtes réalisées dans la province du Guangdong, nous étudions les systèmes de production émergeants et analysons les facteurs évolutifs de ces filières. Alors que l'industrialisation avicole suit une trajectoire assez "classique", caractérisée par l'émergence d'organisations industrielles, le secteur porcin montre un développement atypique où prédominent depuis 30 ans des productions familiales de très petites dimensions. Ces petites productions sont maintenues par les effets convergents de la politique agricole, du sous-emploi caché et de la volatilité des marchés. Notre étude révèle une pluralité de voies de développement et fait apparaître la capacité remarquable d'exploitations encore partiellement paysannes à s'adapter et à évoluer selon des modèles différents que ceux promus par des représentations purement entrepreneuriales du développement économique
This study examines the modernization processes of Chinese agriculture since 1980 with a special focus on swine and poultry industries. Emerging production systems and development factors are studied through field studies in Guangdong province. When typical development patterns appeared in the poultry industry, the swine industry shows a different development path with small size family productions staying predominant. These small size productions result from land policy, rural underemployment and markets instabilities. In addition to animal husbandry, this study shows how small farms, with peasant roots, had remarkably adapted and evolved through multiple paths. As such, they allow a better understanding of the specific constraints of China's agricultural and food industries, as well as show that there is not only one way to economic development

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the effects of village economic wealth and economic autonomy on the authoritarian control of local government over village elections in China. With new data - qualitative evidence and quantitative data collected from the extensive fieldtrips to a county in Guangdong Province, this study finds that given that village elections operate within China’s one party authoritarian regime and the official purpose of the elections is to solve the grassroots governance crisis, local government have the incentive to control the elections in their favour, that is, to have incumbents and/or party members elected. Using the election of party members to the village committee chairman position and the re-election of incumbent chairmen as proxies for the inclusiveness and contestation dimensions of village elections, this study demonstrates that collective village wealth triggers fierce electoral competition, as collective village wealth represents the lucrative benefits candidates can obtain from holding the office. However, the success of authoritarian control hinges on village economic autonomy - the opportunities for economic development beyond the control of local government. If economic resources are controlled by local government, economic development might strengthen the capacity of local government to control the elections in their favour. Even if opponents win the elections, they are inclined to be co-opted by the local government - becoming party members, because their economic gain and maintenance of power are affected by the authoritarian local government control over economic resources. In most villages in the sample, authoritarian control prevails in village elections. The findings of this thesis suggest that until now the elections have been maintained within the boundary of the CCP’s authoritarian governance. In rural China, for elections to serve the function of promoting democracy and fostering checks and balances of power - neither manipulation by the local government nor manipulation by rich opponents - the key lies in the economic empowerment of villagers.

Full text

Abstract:

Previous studies of students’ higher education choices have been mainly examined in the US, European and Australian context, with few related empirical research studies in the context of China (Hemsley-Brown and Oplatka, 2015). Although there is no lack of various online surveys about the reasons driving students towards postgraduate education in China, little is known about how far their decisions were shaped by their specific circumstances which is the purpose of this study, which investigates the main factors influencing students’ decision-making about postgraduate education at G University in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. To achieve this aim, three main research questions were asked: what motivated students to undertake PG education, why did they choose their particular subjects for PG studies, and why did they choose G University as their place of study? This study employs an-in depth case study approach. The research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, questionnaires were distributed among the first-year postgraduate students at G University to get a general idea of what motivated them to undertake PG education and why they chose their particular subjects and place of study. In the second stage, 30 students who indicated their willingness in the questionnaires to participate in follow-up interviews were interviewed to explore the responses to the questionnaires in greater depth. The findings of this research were analysed from the theoretical aspects of human, cultural and social capital, as well as the related Chinese concept of guanxi. The findings indicated that students’ decisions to undertake PG education was mainly to enhance their employment competitiveness and to gain jobs with higher salaries and better advancement opportunities. In addition, the findings indicated that personal interest influenced either by their family's education or school teacher’s instruction constituted the main reason for choosing their specific fields of study. The findings also showed that family social capital and the social capital formed in the school context exerted great influence on students’ choices of postgraduate education. Further, students chose G University as their place of study mainly for its academic reputation, the quality of its faculties and resources, and its convenient location. The data indicated that students’ choices of postgraduate education were influenced by their individual economic, social and cultural backgrounds, or the interplay between human, cultural and social capital from the theoretical aspect. Enquiring into the students’ choices of postgraduate education in the specific Chinese social and cultural context contributes to the literature on students’ choices of higher education. It is hoped that the findings will provide some informed knowledge for students who plan to invest in their future employability through postgraduate education in China, as well as for the Chinese further and higher education system, which may gain a better understanding of its students and so be able to provide a better service to them.

Full text

Abstract:

Cette thèse intitulée « La mode dans le contexte de la Révolution Culturelle chinoise » est critique des travaux de la sociologie occidentale sur la mode. Ces derniers ignorent partiellement ou complètement le rôle du pouvoir et de l’idéologie politique dans l’influence qu’ils ont sur les pratiques quotidiennes du code vestimentaire. Ils négligent aussi la signification que les individus attribuent à leur choix de vêtements et à leur style quand le contexte social est celui du totalitarisme. Cette thèse est innovante dans trois domaines. D’abord, elle montre comment l’habillement est un moyen puissant pour alimenter une représentation populaire de l’organisation classiste d’une société ; ensuite, comment les ennemis du régime politique sont rendu vulnérables au niveau local par leur façon non conventionnelle ou inhabituelle de s’habiller ; enfin, comment les gens non seulement reproduisent l’ordre social en suivant le code vestimentaire mais aussi développent un fort sentiment – le plus souvent d’attachement – pour leurs façons de s’habiller. En conséquence, l’ordre social devient inévitablement une sorte d’ordre moral. 65 hommes ou femmes qui étaient de jeunes adultes pendant la décennie examinée et qui vivaient à cette époque dans la province du Guangdong (Chine) ont été interrogés à deux reprises. L’analyse de ces entretiens est basée sur la transcription complète de ce corpus. Une seconde source de données est constituée par des documents d’archives (articles de journaux, photos) et des statistiques globales sur la consommation couvrant cette période
This thesis “Fashion in context of chinese Cultural Revolution” (1966-1976) is critical of the western sociological studies on fashion. They ignore partially or completely the role of power and political ideology in shaping the every day practice of dress code and the meanings that individual express in their choice of garments and style when the social context is totalitarian. This thesis is innovative in three areas. First, it shows how the dress is a powerful way of giving a popular picture of the basic class organization of a society; second, how the enemies of the political regime are made vulnerable at the local level through their unconventional or unusual ways of dressing; and third, how people not only reproduce the social order in following the dress code but also develop a strong feeling – most of the time, of attachment – for the way they dress. Hence, the social order becomes inevitably a kind of moral order. 65 men or women who have been young adults during the decade under review and were living at this time in Guandong province have been interviewed twice and the analysis is based on full transcriptions of all the interviews. A second source of data are published record of newspapers articles, photos and statistical data about consumption at that time

Full text

Abstract:

Against the backdrop of the increasing expansion of global capitalism and the growing powers of transnational corporations (TNCs), this thesis explores the mechanisms and effects of local initiatives in industrial development. In particular, it presents a detailed analysis of industrialisation and regional development in the Pearl River Delta, China, beginning in the year 1978 when China began its reform and opening. A comparative study of two distinct models adopted by Dongguan and Foshan is used to illustrate differences between export oriented production dominated by TNCs, and domestic market oriented production dominated by locally-owned enterprises. The discourse is developed within the framework of global production networks (GPNs), focusing on their performance when coupled with the demands of the lead firms of GPNs. Dongguan and Foshan have both achieved rapid industrialisation and regional development over the past thirty years. Although sharing common starting points and similar regional assets, their development paths have significantly diverged since the 1990s when China furthered its reform. Dongguan has represented a typical case of a host region run as a processing and assembly base for TNCs, while Foshan has developed localised GPNs, consisting of local lead firms and strategic suppliers, by taking advantage of China's domestic market. Illustrated through cases studies, this thesis argues that the differences between the two models highlight issues of firms' ownership and local power relations. Using quantitative analysis, it is demonstrated that Dongguan has maintained a labour-intensive strategy, and Foshan has engaged in a process of capital deepening. Although the development of Dongguan has been in line with a canonical neoclassical view, Foshan, which has made greater gains in overall efficiency, productivity and financial performance, offers an alternative feasible development model.

Abstract:

Cette thèse examine le processus de la médicalisation de la maternité dans la province méridionale chinoise du Guangdong entre 1879 et 1938. En explorant ce phénomène à travers l’œuvre médicale missionnaire menée dans la région, cette analyse tente de voir comment la prise en charge médicale des parturientes, puis des futures et nouvelles mères chinoises a pu se traduire sur le terrain, en parallèle ou en dehors des politiques gouvernementales pour le moins limitées. Elle met particulièrement en lumière les manifestations locales de ce processus et l’appréhende selon la perspective des principales concernées : les femmes.Espérant convertir les populations féminines, les missionnaires chrétiens présents dans le Guangdong, particulièrement ceux appartenant à la mission presbytérienne américaine, ont développé une offre de soins qui répondait à la norme sociale chinoise de la ségrégation sexuelle. Au sein des établissements de santé spécialisés ou adaptés à l’accueil des femmes, ils ont également organisé des maternités, ainsi que des services de santé maternelle et infantile, chargés d’étendre la prise en charge des parturientes en amont et en aval de l’accouchement. Si leurs efforts ont pu être en partie freinés par la double position de subordination qu’occupaient les femmes dans l’organisation sociale confucéenne, il n’en reste pas moins que les missionnaires ont rencontré plus d’une sociétés chinoises dans le sud de la Chine et que certaines de ces particularités locales ont facilité, dans une certaine mesure, leurs efforts de médicalisation. Étant moins soumises à la ségrégation des sexes et plus impliquées dans l’économie familiale, y compris en dehors du foyer, qu’ailleurs en Chine, les femmes du Guangdong ont été relativement nombreuses à compléter des formations médicales et infirmières dans les programmes missionnaires. Par conséquent, la profession médicale a connu une véritable féminisation/sinisation, et cette région du monde s’est révélée être un terrain beaucoup plus propice à l’innovation sociale et à l’émancipation des femmes que bien des pays occidentaux. Principales forces motrices de la médicalisation de la maternité, les femmes, professionnelles comme profanes, soignantes comme patientes, n’ont pas que reçu passivement les normes, les savoirs et les pratiques de la médecine occidentale. Elles ont négociés ce modèle sur la base de leurs repères socioculturels et ont contribué à en redessiner les contours, faisant passer la médicalisation par un réel processus de naturalisation
This thesis examines the medicalization of maternity in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong between 1879 and 1938. By exploring this phenomenon through the medical missionary work carried out in the region, this analysis tries to understand how the medical care of the Chinese parturients and mothers was implemented on the ground, alongside or outside the limited government policies of the time. It highlights the local manifestations of this process and examine it from the perspective of those who are most involved: the women.The Christian missionaries in Guangdong, especially those belonging to the American Presbyterian Mission, hoped to convert the female population and developed care services that met the Chinese social norms and expectations of gender segregation. In specialized or adapted health facilities, they also organized maternity hospitals, as well as maternal and child health services, which aimed to extend the care before and after delivery. While their efforts may have been partially hampered by the doubly-subordinate position of women in Confucian social organization, the missionaries encountered more than one Chinese society in the south of the country. Some local features may have facilitated their efforts to bring Western medicine to the population.Being less subject to gender segregation and more involved in the family economy than other Chinese women, many women in Guangdong completed medical and nursing training in mission programs. As a result, the medical profession experienced a genuine feminization and sinicization. Moreover, this region of the world proved to be much more conducive to social innovation and women's emancipation than some of the Western countries from which the missionaries came. As the main driving forces in the medicalization of maternity, women (both professionals and non professionals, as caregivers or as patients), did not just passively receive and accept the norms, knowledges and practices of Western medicine. Rather, they negotiated them on the basis of their own socio-cultural values and, by doing so, helped to reshape their contours. In this way, medicalization became, at the same time, a process of naturalization

Abstract:

La réforme mise en œuvre en Chine depuis 1978 a profondément transformé sa géographie économique. La province de Guangdong a joué un rôle pionnier dans cette mutation sans précèdent. Cette thèse décrit son développement économique depuis cette date, et analyse les incidences spatiales de son essor sur la réorganisation de l'espace économique chinois. Dans la première partie, la province de Guangdong est resituée dans son contexte historique et géographique. Son point de départ médiocre permet de mieux saisir la portée des progrès accomplis. On mesure à quel point les particularités de sa géographie, physique (province maritime, méridionale, et périphérique) et humaine (diaspora cantonaise), comptent dans son développement actuel. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la description de son développement: agriculture, industrie, exportations, investissements étrangers, infrastructure, formation et recherche. Dans la troisième partie, nous étudions les incidences spatiales de ce développement rapide. - sur le plan provincial: accélération de l'urbanisation; formation d'un grand réseau urbain sur le delta de la rivière des Perles, dans le sud de la province; intégration économique et spatiale entre cette dernière et Hongkong, et constitution d'une zone économique à fort potentiel. - sur la région littorale : le rôle de la stimulation cantonaise dans l'émergence rapide de deux autres zones de croissance, une sur le delta du fleuve Yangzi avec comme centre Shanghai, l'autre autour du golfe de Bohai avec comme tète bicéphale Pékin-Tianjin. - sur le plan national: accélération du développement littoral et aggravation des disparités entre les trois grands ensembles du pays, l'est, le centre et l'ouest. L'état chinois a-t-il encore une politique d'aménagement du territoire ? Pour conclure, après un bref exposé sur les différentes théories relatives au développement, nous replaçons cette mutation économique et spatiale dans le long terme. A la lumière des déplacements du centre de gravité de l'économie-monde chinoise dans l'histoire, nous comprenons mieux en quoi l'essor de la province méridionale a joué un rôle exceptionnel, la coexistence de trois zones de croissance sur le littoral constituant une situation tout à fait inédite en chine
The reform implemented in china since 1978 has substantially transformed its economic geography. The province of Guangdong played a pioneering role in this unprecedented change. This thesis describes Guangdong’s economic development since 1978 and analyzes the impact of its growth on the restructuring of china's economic space. In the first section, the historical and geographic background of Guangdong is explained. Understanding its humble beginnings emphasizes the dramatic nature of progress made there. The extent of its geographic (seaside, southern and peripheral) and human (Cantonese diaspora) impact is given. The second section covers its development: agriculture, industry, exportation, foreign investment, infrastructure, training and research. The third section breaks down the spatial impact of rapid development: - as a province: acceleration of urbanization; creation of a large-scale urban network on the pearl river delta in the south of the province ; spatial and economic integration with Hong Kong ; and creation of an economic center with great potential. - as a seaside region : the role of Cantonese stimulation in the rapid growth of two additional areas of growth - one on the Yangtze river delta with shanghai as the center, the other around the golf of Bohai with both Beijing and Tianjin as centers. - as a nation acceleration of seaside development and aggravation of disparities between the three main regions of the country : the east, the center and the west. Does the Chinese government still have a policy for land management ? To conclude, pursuant to a brief overview of the various theories on development, the economic and spatial transformation is analyzed over long-term. In light of the switch in economic centers of gravity in Chinese history, it is better understood why Guangdong’s growth played such an exceptional role. The coexistence of three growth centers in the seaside region has never been done before in China

Abstract:

Le delta de la Rivière des Perles a connu une profonde transformation de son tissu économique, de ses paysages et de ses équilibres régionaux depuis le début des réformes en Chine. La proximité de Hong Kong et le soutien de Pékin dans les années 1980 lui a permis de se développer plus rapidement que les autres régions côtières. Mais cette croissance fut inégale suivant les sous-ensembles deltaïques et des types différents de développement sont apparus : une industrie rurale collective prépondérante dans les districts centraux, un fort rôle des joint-ventures dans les zones économiques spéciales, et un secteur prive grandissant. Cette évolution s'est accompagnée d'une urbanisation de l'ensemble régional, avec une multiplication des bourgs et des activités non agricoles. Surtout, le développement a entrainé de nouveaux problèmes à l'échelle d'une région de 46 000 km2 : afflux des migrants de l'intérieur, inégalités sociales et spatiales, gaspillage de l'espace et pollution, insuffisance de la production énergétique. Le morcellement du développement local empêche les autorités de répondre à ces problèmes globaux et accuse le recul de canton, la capitale provinciale, face aux nouveaux pôles du delta, sans qu'il y ait eu pour autant une stricte réorganisation de l'espace régional en fonction de Hong Kong
The Pearl River delta has known a great change of its economic fabric, landscapes and regional balance since the beginning of reforms in China. Thanks to Hong Kong’s proximity and Beijing’s favor during 1980's, the delta could develop more rapidly than other coastal regions. But this growth was unequal among its subsets and different development types appeared: rural and collective industry in the central districts, an important role of joint-ventures in special economic zones, and a growing private sector. An urbanization of the region was based on an increase in number of townships and non-agricultural activities. Mainly, this development has been leading to new problems at the scale of a region with 46 000 square kilometers: a rush of migrant workers from inner regions, social and spatial inequalities, a waste of land and pollution, insufficient energy production. The breaking up of local development hinders authorities from solving these regional problems et shows the backing of canton, the provincial capital, faced with the new poles of pearl river delta, without a true reorganization of the regional territory according to Hong Kong

Abstract:

The present study focuses on the local organizations and state extraction in rural China from 1949 to 1956. But in order to provide an understanding of context and processes the thesis at the same time examines the secular changes in local organizations and the historical experience of state extraction in rural China during a relatively long period from the fourteenth century to 1956. Specifically, the present study focuses on the relationships between local organizations and the efficiency (transaction costs) of state extraction in rural China from the fourteenth century to 1956, and finds that the actions and interactions of the state (or rulers), state agents (recorders in lijia organization and lineage leaders before the twentieth century, local bosses during the first half of the twentieth century, and heads and recorders in the collectives after 1949), and constituents (the common peasants) led to the changes of institutions in state extraction (forms of taxation, forms of contract between the state and state agents, structures of local organizations) and institutions in broader social context (informal institutions), and the changes in the efficiency (transaction costs) of state extraction, by using the historical experience of state extraction from villages in A County (a County in southeast China) from the fourteenth century to 1956 as a case study. The thesis therefore revises key aspects of the new institutionalism model (Williamson 1975; North 1981, 1991; Kiser 1994; Levi 1988), and develops a new model for understanding organizations, what might be called the process institutionalism model. In contrast to the new institutionalism model which emphasizes the efficiency properties of alternative forms of organization, and their centrality to the actions and interactions of organization participants and the other actors in broader social context, the process institutionalism model focuses on the processes whereby the organizational participants and the other actors in broader social context, having different interests and valuing various inducements, take actions and interact with each other, and emphasizes that the processes of the actions and interactions of organization participants and the other actors in broader social context are fundamentally important to the changes in organization structures and the other institutions in broader social context, and the changes in the efficiency of institutional patterns. Secondly, the present study follows the research approach opened by Schumpeter (1991) and develops a relatively complete framework to understand the changes in state institutions, and the efficiency of state extraction, not only in China, but also in the other countries after the fourteenth century (including the development of a relatively strong central representative institution in England in the seventeenth century and the establishment of bureaucratic monarchy in the major European continental countries in the eighteenth century).
